Chicago architect
Howard Van Doren Shaw design this
Colonial Revival-style house, which is considered an excellent example of the style.[2] The 2½-story brick structure features a symmetrical
facade, an entrance porch with
Doric columns, a
Palladian window above the front entrance, a single-story semi-circular room in the back, and a
hip roof with
dormers. On the south side of the house is a full width porch, with a sleeping porch on the second floor. A
pergola in the back leads to a detached two-car garage, which was built a couple of years after the house. The house and garage were listed together on the
National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
